Neil Gaiman Quotes

The Lord of Dreams learns that one must change or die, and makes his decision Picture Quote #1

Death is the second oldest of the Endless. It’s hard not to love her. She loves you, after all Picture Quote #1

There aren’t any good guys, and there aren’t any bad guys. There’s just us. People. Doing our best to get by Picture Quote #1

When you start off, you have to deal with the problems of failure. You need to be thick-skinned, to learn that not every project will survive Picture Quote #1

Well meaning adults can easily destroy a child’s love of reading - do not discourage children from reading because you feel they’re reading the wrong thing. There is no such thing as the wrong thing to be reading and no bad fiction for kids Picture Quote #1

The things that really change the world, according to Chaos theory, are the tiny things. A butterfly flaps its wings in the Amazonian jungle, and subsequently a storm ravages half of Europe Picture Quote #1

Well-meaning adults can easily destroy a child’s love of reading. Stop them reading what they enjoy or give them worthy-but-dull books that you like - the 21st-century equivalents of Victorian ‘improving’ literature - you’ll wind up with a generation convinced that reading is uncool and, worse, unpleasant Picture Quote #1

Make glorious, amazing mistakes. Make mistakes nobody’s ever made before. Whatever you’re scared of doing, Do it Picture Quote #1

But libraries are about freedom. Freedom to read, freedom of ideas, freedom of communication. They are about education (which is not a process that finishes the day we leave school or university), about entertainment, about making safe spaces, and about access to information Picture Quote #1

One word after another. That’s the only way that novels get written and, short of elves coming in the night and turning your jumbled notes into Chapter Nine, it’s the only way to do it. So keep on keeping on. Write another word and then another Picture Quote #1

I was always aware, reading Chesterton, that there was someone writing this who rejoiced in words, who deployed them on the page as an artist deploys his paints upon his palette... and it seemed to me that at the end of any particularly good sentence or any perfectly-put paradox, you could hear the author, somewhere behind the scenes, giggling with delight Picture Quote #1

I have never written a musical. I have never written a weird, interactive piece of theater. I wanted to do something that would be disturbing. It will be disturbing theater with songs. There will be no people on wires. That’s probably the next one of those things on my bucket list of things that I need to write before I get hit by that car Picture Quote #1

I love CGI if it’s invisible. I don’t like it when it’s there and obvious Picture Quote #1

Human beings do not relate to written words in the same way that they will relate to spoken words. They do not relate to music in the same way that they do to pictures. It’s all different parts of our head, different parts of our minds processing this Picture Quote #1

I liked myths. They weren’t adult stories and they weren’t children’s stories. They were better than that. They just were Picture Quote #1

You don’t want to ask after the health of anyone, if you’re a funeral director. They think maybe you’re scouting for business Picture Quote #1

I’m sure there’s an alternate universe where I got to become a pulpy science fiction writer Picture Quote #1

What I’d love to do is every now and then go, ‘Oh my God, I’ve got this amazing idea for ‘Doctor Who.’ Picture Quote #1

Now go and make interesting mistakes, make amazing mistakes, make glorious and fantastic mistakes. Break rules. Leave the world more interesting for your being here Picture Quote #1

There’s a tale in the Caballa that suggests that the Angel of Death is so beautiful that upon seeing it (or him, or her) you fall in love so hard, so fast, that your soul is pulled out through your eyes. I like that story Picture Quote #1

I once read that you die because you see the Angel of Death, and you fall in love. And you fall in love so hard your soul is sucked out through your eyes, and that’s the moment of death. It’s a lovely, strange old Jewish legend Picture Quote #1

There’s not much high and low culture any more: there’s just mingling streams of art and what matters is whether it’s good art or bad art Picture Quote #1

Children, as I have said, use back ways and hidden paths, while adults take roads and official paths Picture Quote #1

There, she said, waving her hands at the corridor. The expression of delight on her face was a very bad thing to see.You’re wrong! You don’t know where your parents are, do you? she turned and looked at CoralineNow, she said, you’re going to stay here for ever and always Picture Quote #1

I don’t believe in writer’s block. I try and deal with getting stuck by having more than one thing to work on at a time. And by knowing that even a hundred bad words that didn’t exist before is forward progress Picture Quote #1

My parents would frisk me before family events. Before weddings, funerals, bar mitzvahs, and what have you. Because if they didn’t, then the book would be hidden inside some pocket or other and as soon as whatever it was got under way I’d be found in a corner. That was who I was...that was what I did. I was the kid with the book Picture Quote #1

People who believe they’ll be happy if they go and live somewhere else, learn it doesn’t work that way. Wherever you go, you take yourself with you Picture Quote #1

Nothing’s changed. You’ll go home. You’ll be bored. You’ll be ignored. No one will listen to you, really listen to you. You’re too clever and too quiet for them to understand. They don’t even get your name right Picture Quote #1

You know, I’m normally so sanguine. But... being accused of rushing these two books out to cash in on the Newbery Medal, without access to time travel equipment or anything, just makes me want to bang my forehead gently against a tree for half an hour. Is it too much to ask people to think? Picture Quote #1
